Amit Trivedi recently shared his journey to becoming a music composer in an interview with Komal Nahta. He reflected on his early years, saying, “I started with stage musicals. After that, I spent about 4 to 5 years in advertising and television. My dream was to work in independent music, but I never aimed to get into films. My family wasn’t involved in the film industry at all.”<\/p>\n
During his time in advertising, Amit met singer Shilpa Rao, who frequently recorded advertisements. He quickly admired her talent and they became good friends. Amit mentioned that he expressed a desire to collaborate with her on an album, which she agreed to. Their first song together was “Dhol Yaara Dhol,” which later featured in the film Dev D<\/em> in 2009. Amit had plans to create a music video and showcase it to networks like MTV or Sony, but Shilpa had greater ambitions. She took their songs to film directors instead.<\/p>\n When asked about Shilpa’s efforts on his behalf, Amit humorously acknowledged, “In a way, you could say that!” <\/p>\n He went on to explain, \u201cOne day, she called me and said, \u2018I met Anurag Kashyap sir and I played him some of our music. Can you come and meet him?\u2019 At first, I was puzzled\u2014why was she pursuing this film route? I wanted to focus on our album and keep it independent. The film industry felt too big and intimidating for me. I thought I was fine in my small world! But Shilpa pushed me into it, and that\u2019s how I first met Anurag.\u201d<\/p>\n Amit admitted to having some worries, but he found that Anurag made him feel at ease. He recalled the time when Black Friday<\/em> had just come out and work was underway for No Smoking<\/em>. Anurag even showed him a rough cut of No Smoking<\/em>. \u201cIt was my first time seeing a film without its score or dubbing. Honestly, I didn\u2019t understand anything while watching it! I was left wondering what I would say if he asked me, \u2018How did you like the film?\u2019\u201d he laughed.<\/p>\n No Smoking<\/em> featured John Abraham in the lead role, with Paresh Rawal and Ranvir Shorey in supporting roles.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Amit Trivedi recently shared his journey to becoming a music composer in an interview with Komal Nahta.
